OK, I've moved the USB port and the program now sees it. Do I have to have a LOR network setup somewhere first before the Enttec is connected? OK, I have my Enttec Open connected to my computer, I've installed the drivers but LOR Network Preferences isn't recognizing it. What do I need to do to get it recognized?

The only thing you'll see in the network prefs is in the drop down to select the adapter when it's connected to the USB port, and available to the computer. Look in the Windoze Device Manager and ensure the serial port that gets assigned to the ENTTEC is good (and isn't the same port as the LOR adapter) If you get that far, you should be able to select it in the drop down highlighted in the attachment.

(because you have one listed above in the LOR network section and one below in the DMX section) If you only have ONE USB485 dongle and you want to use it for DMX, then change the top to None. Otherwise, you'll get a COM Port conflict. You can run DMX without any entries in the Light O Rama Networks box. Not sure who started that idea. Oh, and uncheck the "MCP Compatibility" box at the bottom unless you know it needs to be checked. Last edited on Friday December 2nd, 2011 04:04 pm by JonB256 |

I want to know if that will work too! Those two items are very affordable and if that would work, it would make things very easy for me!

I am trying to get DMX working with only the USB485. I have an iDMX that is what I think was showing up as a second adapter. I have made a LOR to Lynx Cat 5 conversion cable. I have changed network to the DMX Universe only. I have renumbered 192 channels and assigned them all to device type DMX Universe Network Universe 1 but have run out of daylight. So show is running. I will have to go to each LE and change the start address in the morning and then see what happens.

Gave up on DMX using the USB485, I updated firmware on all LOR boxes and could never get it to work across all controllers all the time. I did make the conversion cable and DMX did go from LOR to LE boxes. Final solution was to use the USB485 for the 5 LOR Boxes. Use a Lynx Dongle flashed with Pixelnet software. Configure the LE's with starting DMX address 1 and plug into the Smart String Hub DMX out. I reserved DMX all the way to channel 240 to cover the 8 LEs I have now and the LEs I plan for next year. Flashed my first smart string controller with DMX ID 241 for 30 RGB Channels (1 rigid strip). I have done all my sequencing in LOR except for the RGB. I use LSP for that as well as to play the show. I much prefer the stability and speed of LOR, but unless they will support pixelnet in the future I'm stuck with LSP.

Im having the same issue is that the USB485 adapter port only shows up in the LOR Hardware area. In the DMX the drop downs all only have none in them. Is there a setting Im not doing properly.

If you are talking about the sequences editor under network preferences, I think you need to set the LOR network to none. It might show up then after restarting the sequence editor.

So now I know. That was correct, mark the LOR as none, restart and now its marked A8008ezX in DMX. Thank you Mr. Jeff.

Now put that label on the unit and you will know which one is what if you get a number of them hooked up.
